Silo-Busting Networking is a Philadelphia-based firm whose mission is to ignite your employees’ ability to create strategic networks that break down obstacles to growth, productivity, communication, and collaboration. We are successful networkers who've built a share-able set of tools to connect people and get things done in your organization. And we're skilled facilitators who can teach your people to apply these tools. When you engage the Silo-Busting Networking team, you're working with the firm's founders, two experienced internal networking experts. Both Barbara Taylor and Pat Schaeffer have successfully navigated corporate politics and culture, crossing functional boundaries to work through business challenges quickly with few redundancies and little resistance. Both have built solid networks based on credibility, authenticity, and trust. Barbara and Pat are also leaders in Beacon, the mid-Atlantic region's premier executive networking organization. They combine their unique experiences to help others network more effectively. They bring their expertise to companies to deal with serious gaps in corporate alignment, intra-business knowledge, and cross-company collaboration and communication. Pat and Barbara have learned that silos kill companies. And they know how to inspire your people to build bridges between silos to get things done!
